TheInnkeeper.com on Location in Key West

The beginning of this month I had the pleasure of staying at one of our long time members establishments The Key West Bed and Breakfast in Key West Florida. We chose this B and B because of the wonderful reviews we have had over the years on TheInnkeeper.com.

The Innkeeper Jody and all of the staff were fantastic and very helpful. .We stayed in the Pink Room, (which despite my excitement, turned out not to be pink at all), and it was a perfect fit for us. Simple, but comfortable and located on the second floor, the “Pink Room” was conveniently located steps from the hammock on the front porch which we napped in the first afternoon of our stay. I do believe that was runner-up for my favorite part of the trip. However the award simply has to go to breakfast, which quite honestly blew me away. I went to bed at night looking forward to breakfast in the morning! In fact one morning I got up extra early just so I could be the first in the kitchen that morningJ I don’t even know where to start in describing the food! The entire kitchen was filled to the brim with amazing fruit baskets, fresh bagels and breads, and yummy breakfast pies. We sat out in the back deck area as we ate, which reminded me of a rainforest with all the beautiful foliage.

Another neat feature about the back deck was the Jacuzzi/pool which in the summertime is not heated and is the perfect refresher after being in the Florida heat all day.

On our last day check out time was around 11 and our ferry didn’t leave until 6. I was afraid we were going to have to lug our bags around with us for the day, but Jodi was so wonderful she not only let us leave our bags, but told us we were welcome to lounge in the common room, use the pool, and even take showers if we liked.

We shall certainly return to The Key West Bed and Breakfast and have told everyone we’ve talked to what a great experience we had!

Nominated-The Inn of the Month

Posted on February 16, 2009

The Stonewall Jackson Inn has been nominated as the Inn of the Month by Mariah Morris CEO of TheInnkeeper.com Bed and Breakfast Guide. Please read below some history of the Inn, its Owner and other people’s opinion as too why this Inn should be noticed and appreciated….The Stonewall Jackson Inn, as a (circa 1870) Queen Ann mansion, sits on “Nob Hill” overlooking the Historic District of downtown Harrisonburg. Historically called Rocktown, the city played a central role in the Civil War as it was the supply stand distribution depot for General Lee’s major campaigns. General Stonewall Jackson was on the faculty of the famous Virginia Military Institute, knew the Valley well, and was General Lee’s first choice to be the “Valley’s Defender”. There were 11 assaults on the City, but it was never taken until he was killed. His Headquarters for his brilliant 1863 summer campaign was just outside the city at Elkton.  Review’s for The Stonewall Jackson Inn…

Rated 5.0: Staying at the Stonewall Jackson Inn is like being at home and being treated like royalty. Wayne Engel, owner, welcomes each guest and goes out of his way to personalize their B & B experience with warmth, humor, good service, and delicious food. Rooms are clean, comfortable, spacious with individual bathrooms, and the sheets are heavenly. We highly recommend the Stonewall Jackson in Harrisonburg, VA. Goodmans Roanoke, VA

Rated 5.0: We’ve stayed at many of Va.’s B&B’s and this was one of our favorites. Just came to the area for snow tubing at nearby Massanutten. We also visited the historic area, which consisted of shops and great restaurants. The Stonewall Jackson was extremely clean(which is a must for me) and the breakfasts were delicious and filling enough to hold us through lunch. We’d highly recommend this to anyone!

Rated 5.0: Our recent stay at the Stonewall Jackson Inn located in Harrisonburg, Virginia could not have been better. The Inn was immaculate and our hosts were gracious, helpful, accommodating and in every way eager to please. The breakfast was, indeed, one to remember, but that can be truthfully said of all aspects of our time at the Inn. We highly recommend the Stonewall Jackson Inn and plan to stay there on future overnight visits to Harrisonburg.

Rated 4.5: Absolutely delightful in every way! My college roommate and I were in Harrisonburg for a college reunion and wanted to stay in a charming location. The Stonewall Jackson Inn exceeded our expectations and Innkeepers Wayne and Debbie could not be more welcoming. Wayne is a fabulous cook and we loved the breakfasts both mornings. The Belle Boyd room was perfect for us with beautiful antique furniture and two marvelously comfortable beds. It was convenient to both James Madison University and the nearby shops and restaurants of downtown Harrisonburg. I would go back in a minute!
